The Hill of Crosses, located near Siauliai city in Lithuania. This place has a remarkable ambiance, and gratitude, wishes, dreams, and hopes are integral parts of this magic Hill that resembles the atmosphere of the Western wall of Jerusalem.  There have been several attempts to destroy the Hill, nevertheless, it survived as a sign of liberty and independence of Lithuania. Hill has become an important place for pilgrims all around the world. In 1993 Pope John Paul II said a prayer about this Hill and gave a gift to Lithuania - a crucifix that was set up on the Hill. Later he referred to this special place in his many speeches. The Hill of Crosses is a place of light and hope for its visitors!   On this trip, you will have a very well informed driver/guide, who will explain everything about this place. It will be a nice and pleasant day! Additionally, you will be provided with a choice of excellent places to have lunch with traditional Lithuanian or modern cuisine during this tour.

  • Northern District, Riga, LV-1045, Latvia
  • Kryziu Kalnas, Jurgaiciai, Lithuania
    The exact origins of Lithuania's Kryžių Kalnas, or the Hill of Crosses, remain a mystery. Just outside the northern city of Šiauliai, thousands of metal and wooden crosses—placed here for nearly two centuries—have found a home on the growing mound of religious fervor. Dangling rosaries chime in the blowing wind and provide a rolling soundtrack for icons of saints and photographs of revered local patriots. Despite many attempts to destroy it, this unusual pilgrimage site endures as a powerful testament to devotion.

We had a wonderful drive to the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania with Erlens. The journey was comfortable and flexible if we wanted to stop. Plenty of time to walk around the hill, with the ability to ask questions. Travelling to and from we learnt about Latvian history and felt comfortable to ask anything. Erlens was articulate, knowledgeable, kind and had excellent English.
